Wow! Such a good movie.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This is an insulting remake of the 1973 classic Papillon. I don't even want to get into the details because I'm so angry right now. The only reason this movie exists is so that your kids see THIS instead of the original. Back in the 1980's, when I was a kid, we would see all the classics on TV, and it makes you so intelligent and cultured watching those films. The new generations? 50 IQ super hero movies, reboots, CGI porn, and remakes that are shadows of the originals.Hollywood, you need to stop erasing history. I know what you're doing, and it's not going to work. You're not going to get your global socialist dystopia. You're going to fail to destroy Western culture and history.STOOOOOOOOOOP. I hate you hollywood. I'm so glad the Indie scene exists to counter your evil.Btw, Papillon is French for 'Butterfly,' and not 'Escape.'

To try and reproduce a former classic is getting out of hand what directors have no insite to new subjects ? Leave the classics alone

"Papillon" is based on a true story of a French thief who becomes friends with one of his fellow prison mates, and together they plan an escape. It is the remake of the 1973 movie of the same name.Hunnam, who plays the main protagonist, gives a brilliant performance. He is an intelligent actor who has given his own original touch to the role. He plays the role with a lot of realism and intensity. The surprise package of "Papillon" is Rami Malek, who plays Hunnam's friend. He has given an outstanding performance that challenges the one originally done by the great Dustin Hoffman.The direction is effective and the original atmosphere of the 1973 flick has been captured well enough.

Our characters years of isolation and desolation were remarkably well balanced with action sequencesExcellent character design and performancesThe young director director really had a flair for keeping the subject matter interesting and not overwhelming bleak as one would thinkMy best film on this first day of Tiff 2017I think Rami Malek might get a best supporting Oscar nod for this role to go alongside his Emmy - he was brilliantDustin Hoffman should take note of this performanceVery good achievement in film.
